True Love Waits

The past, a memory covered in fog As shadows hold court though they come and go A silent movie without dialogue A dark play with tears is now a freak show You caused the stage to go black, in shadowed form Where tears that fell silent tried to hide And trembling hands were caught in love's storm Lost in a cloud of anguish, love has died Once we were lovers, we are nothing now As we only have the sad tomorrow And no one will be there to take a bow Never understood time was to borrow To be in love again, filled with wonder To not be sad from love split asunder We met again, upon the ocean shore And felt the motion of its smoothest wave To search for reasons of our love and more Forgive the anger which became our grave There between the soft sand and sky, we'll find Love lost now found, grand as the widest view A splendid world warm as the waves are kind To wet our quiet eyes with love that's true We'll hold the tender hand to bond as one Watching footprints fade in the warmest sand And see the red sky from the setting sun Falling into the night 'till stars command To feel each wave upon the smoothest skin Touch the moment when we found love again

So glad you entered this one and have been honoured, otherwise I might never have read it. Congrats on a well deserved top placement.

dear Frederic, I read this a few times and each time I enjoyed it more and more. I would not have guessed this was you only because I haven't read many of your sonnets. This one was amazing all around. Thank you for your participation and congratulations on your placement :)-luloo

Frederic, if he goes for iambic meter. That might lose you points in a few spots here, but WOW, if he is judging by poetic value of the words, THIS rocks. I love these lines. Better than my mediocre idea!!
